Until now, the skincare industry has mostly focused on a claims-first and one-size-fits-all approach, placing the burden on you to find the right products. At Yours, we’re reimagining this experience; we’ve always believed in putting you front and center, be it through personalizing your routine, developing products based on your specific skin concerns, or simply being your partner in your skincare journey.
So, in line with this philosophy, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to listen to your feedback, take into account all of your pain points, and address some of your biggest concerns. Today we’re thrilled to finally roll out everything we’ve been working on over the past year: introducing a brand new website experience designed to elevate your skincare journey.
Here’s a breakdown of our very first tech product update and what you can look forward to in the coming months:
1. An All-new Home Page Experience
Welcome to our brand new homepage! We understand that time is of the essence for you, so we’ve streamlined our homepage to make it more accessible and efficient. You can now find and add products directly to cart, clearly view your items in the side cart, and check out with ease – just a few simple clicks, perfect for when you’re time-crunched.
2. A Richer Skin Assessment Experience & Improved Personalization Logic
We’ve focused on improving our personalization algorithm to map the right clean ingredients that will truly work for your skin. With this update, you’ll experience a better skin assessment flow and a more accurate personalization of your routine. Our algorithm’s current accuracy rate is at 99.5%, and we will continue to strive towards achieving 100% accuracy!
